If every fighter in the UFC did that, then the UFC would go out of business quickly. I just think he should make more of an effort in his fights to try and finish someone or atleast posture up and do some ground and pound. He doesn't do anything when he gets someone down. Even though your job is to win, you should try and entertain the fans as well who are the ones paying to see you actually fight, not dry hump someone round after round. I'm sorry, but his style of not fighting gets to me, because it is exactly that, not fighting.

I also agree, any opponent he is up against should be doing serious takedown defense in training, He's playing by the rules and getting a way with it but it's horrible to watch.

I understand why to a lot of people Fitch's fights are boring. But when you train you can appreciate the work he's doing. It's hard as fuck to manipulate and move another man's body around when he's resisting and attempting to get up all the time. One thing I wish Fitch would do more is sub people. He's so dominant on top that if he just went for the kill more, I think he would be finishing people left and right.

Same goes for Chael. He's strong as fuck and has a ridiculous top game, he uses his hands well to smother his opponents faces and he stays heavy on top and just smothers guys with his relentless pace. If he devoted a lot of his time to getting better at BJJ, he could be a destroyer of worlds. A guy with his ability and endurance in the top position and even if he just worked his way up to being a brown belt, he would seriously fuck guys up. We saw that a bit in the Stann fight. Like a lot of strong wrestlers he went with the Arm Triangle because it's easy to get, especially for someone like Chael. I'd love to see him work to side control or mount and get an Arm Bar on someone, or get mount and instead of just smothering them let them roll over and take their back. Maybe one day.

Strikeforce have cancelled the Nov. 3 show, but Coker says they'll do a big show in January.

Just kill it already.

Fitch is fun to watch if you watch one of his highlights.

Sonnen needs to keep training with Cesar Gracie/Vinny Magalhaes and add Catch Wrestling.

And Big Nog is still a Top HW. Dude would've beaten Mir. Even at 36 he still beats most of the UFC's HWs. They should match him up against Bigfoot

Bonnar's plan might just work.

Jake Shields is suspended for 6 months because apparently they found banned substances in his body in the post fight drug test. CESAR GRACIE JIU JITSU.

Only he didn't. He could have just finished Mir with strikes but chose to get cocky and go for the sub and even while dazed as fuck Mir still owned him and broke his shit. Nog may beat most of the newer guys coming up but as soon as he hits top 10 he gets owned. And I'm rather sure his arm will probably never be the same again and when you add onto that all his other really major surgeries and then you add that he has severe wear and tear, he's done soon imo. I think he beats Herman but it wouldn't shock me if Herman pulled it off.

Was kinda shocked to hear about Shields. Didn't expect that from him. But he manned up and took responsibility and he's gone for 6 months, so not much more to do about it.

Had his arm not been ripped off, yeah.

In the fights I care about, I got A. Silva, Nogueira, Texeira, Fitch, Maia, and Davis.

Fitch is gonna Fitch tomorrow night, and everyone including Dana White will rage because he'll derail the hype train of Erick Silva, and set him backwards in the title chase.

Or Silva will KO him. Either way, it'll be entertaining for me to watch.

Alvarez/Pitbull was great. Alvarez's celebration was GOAT.
